Origin Story
话说魏文帝曹丕即位后，励精图治，决心要改变汉末以来积弊，他广开言路，虚心纳谏，大力推行举贤任能的政策。有一次，一位大臣向他推荐了一位名叫陈群的官员，陈群为人正直，勤勉好学，才干出众，但出身寒微。曹丕经过考察后，任命陈群为自己的重要幕僚，并委以重任。陈群果然不负众望，辅佐曹丕成就了一番事业。魏国的繁荣昌盛，与曹丕的举贤任能政策是分不开的。
It is said that after Emperor Cao Pi of the Wei Dynasty came to power, he worked diligently to govern and was determined to change the accumulated ills since the end of the Han Dynasty. He encouraged free speech, listened to advice humbly, and vigorously implemented the policy of promoting talented people. Once, a minister recommended to him an official named Chen Qun. Chen Qun was upright, diligent, and talented, but he came from a humble background. After investigation, Cao Pi appointed Chen Qun as his important staff member and entrusted him with important tasks. Chen Qun lived up to expectations and assisted Cao Pi in accomplishing a great deal. The prosperity of the Wei Kingdom was inseparable from Cao Pi's policy of promoting talented people.
